Its funny how I knew about her. I used to live in Rio de Janeiro, went to a rock-disco -club and on the ladie´s were hanging these posts with famous phrases. Saw one that called my attention, it was signed as hers, took a pic and posted on facebook. Couple of yrs later, the pic appeared on my fb timeline and asked myself…who´s this Mae West anyway? And here I am. She is really, really awesome!
